I use MuLab XT in my live setup and I'd really like to have easier way to change the tempo between tracks. I play in a dub band and I need to follow the drummer's tempo with my delays, etc.
Is there a way to:
1) Assign a keyboard shortcut to launch the change tempo dialogue?
2) Control the tempo slider using MIDI?
3) Tap the tempo?
Looking forward to your replies!
Tempo shortcut (or MIDI)

It seems like there is nothing you are asking for.
There is a workaround if you know the tempos before your gig:
1) open an empty session (no sequences/parts)
2) in the timeline right click and Insert Tempo Change
3) Insert a tempo change at 1.1.0001 (1.1.0 does not work, don't ask) with tempo say 140
4) Export Midi File and save it under a dedicated folder as say "140.mid"
5) repeat the steps 1) - 4) for each tempo you need
That was the prep
At the gig, have the browser open "What = Midi Files" and simply drag the required tempo midi file to the location (bar) you need that tempo change.
Does that help??

Thanks for the tip AndreasD it's pretty neat!
I know the BPMs so this will definitely come in handy. Cheers!

It's a tough rush towards M6. I can't promise that such shortcuts will be included. But feel free to put this back on the table during the M6 test phase or after M6 is released. Anyway, i've taken note on the wishlist.

Of course, that's the simplest way. 
But when playing live, it's pretty awkward to have to use the mouse and fiddle it around the MIDI keyboard and the laptop. My idea with your tip was to figure out if there was a way to do it with keyboard shortcuts and effectively bypass the mouse.
The perfect solution though (hopefully in some future version of MuLab) would be tap tempo OR mapping a MIDI CC to the tempo slider.
